This little girl had an accident. Whilst riding a rusty old hand-me-down bicycle, she wasn’t strong enough or coordinated enough when going down a hill too fast. She fell off and landed on her face.

She knew she lacked coordination. She couldn’t throw or catch a ball very well. She was a slow runner and rubbish at sports. Her muscles were weak and often ached. She was always the last to be picked during PE lessons. She had to stop gymnastics due to random knee dislocations.
She got back on the bike. She kept trying until she found her confidence. When she realised that she enjoyed swimming, roller-skating, ice-skating, dancing (and later, nightclubbing) more than cycling, she chose to do what made her happier. The random knee dislocations continued.
